Rouen Castle

Rouen Castle, also known as Bouvreuil Keep, was a fortified ducal and royal residence in the city of Rouen, France. Most of the castle was destroyed at the end of the 16th century, with only a single tower remaining.

History

In December 1430, Jeanne d'Arc was imprisoned in one of the fortress' towers. On 21 February 1431, the keep's chapel was used for a session of her trial, with Bishop Pierre Cauchon and Jean d'Estivet as the overseeing judges and Fleur and Gabriel Laxart in attendance. Jeanne was brought out and interrogated for hours, though she managed to avoid incriminating herself in the judges' pointed and biased questions.
